Progress through the game, beyond making your way past enemies, requires thoughtful use of objects, and your ship’s myriad abilities, to beat different location-based puzzles. As you progress you gain use of extra systems, such as heat shutters that can mask your heat signature, though these often only work for a limited time, requiring fast and accurate operation to make your way through the landscape.Īffordable Space Adventures can often be quite punishing, though on the whole it never feels unfair, despite the perserverance that some sections need. Your fuel engine is loud and creates heat, whilst your electric engine is quieter and makes no heat, but uses a lot of voltage. The ship’s systems are controlled by the main Heads Down display which appears on the gamepad’s screen, as well as shortcuts which are assigned to the pad’s face buttons. In single player, the control of your Small Craft is via the Wii U gamepad, with you exploring in your delicate ship through the 2D landscape, following the allegedly safe Uexplore transport ship crash-landing on the planet.
They offer the same fixed-grin type of marketing, promoting the safety of space travel, and the company’s safety record, though the player comes to know that there is a darker, less primary-coloured underbelly to proceedings.
The story, and overarching world of the game, are mainly brought to you by infomercials and brochure pages from travel company Uexplore which may remind you of the Buy ‘n’ Large adverts seen in Pixar’s Wall-E. In Affordable Space Adventures you take control of a “cheap but functional” spaceship called a Small Craft as you embark on a seemingly idyllic colonisation mission to a far-away world called Spectaculon.
